Can one install KVM on a Windows system where Windows will be the host operating system?
I have searched a lot but every answer is about how one can install Windows as guest on KVM.

You can run a linux VM on Windows, and then run most of the KVM toolchain inside it. But the core KVM depends having the Linux kernel running in baremetal. Without that, you're dependent on the qemu emulator, which should work in theory, albeit slowly.

This page describes how to set up Funtoo Linux to run Windows 10 Home/Professional 64-bit within a KVM virtual machine. KVM is suitable for running Windows 10 for general desktop application use. It does not provide 3D support, but offers a nice, high-performance virtualization solution for day-to-day productivity applications.
Right Click on QEMU/KVM and select New. We are using local images that we have copied into the Ubuntu so select Local install media and click Forward. Click on Browse and Select the Windows Image.
No, it does not install on a windows system, because it is a linux kernel module.

KVM is short for Kernel-based Virtual Machine. It's for Linux only. You can use the similar solution - HAXM. It's be supported by Windows 7 (32/64) or higher. You can get details from here: https://github.com/intel/haxm
